Rosemary Maltese, LPC

Rosemary Maltese is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Tennessee who focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety. She meets people where they are and aims to offer practical help for day-to-day struggles. Many seekers come for relief from low self-esteem, depression, grief, parenting strain, or major life transitions.

Rosemary draws on client-centered methods to create an accepting space for people to talk through what matters most to them. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused ideas to set clear goals and build practical skills. Mindfulness practices are offered to help with emotional regulation and present-moment coping.

She also works with trauma-related concerns and includes Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) among her approaches when appropriate. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used when someone needs help with intense emotions or improving relationships. These methods are combined to match a person’s needs rather than following a single fixed plan.

With 11 years of experience, Rosemary has supported people through grief, abuse, codependency, attachment challenges, career stress, and compassion fatigue. Her perspective emphasizes strengths and practical strategies that fit into everyday life. She describes therapy as a collaborative process focused on small, measurable steps.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and details about current session options should be confirmed before booking.

How Rosemary’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and creating an accepting atmosphere so people can name what’s most worrying them. Online sessions can still use this approach by prioritizing what the person brings each week and adjusting pace accordingly.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers clear strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In online sessions CBT tools like thought records and behavioral experiments can be taught and reviewed to reduce anxiety and manage stress.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills help with intense emotions and improving how someone interacts with others. Online meetings can include teaching grounding, distress-tolerance, and emotion-regulation techniques that are practiced between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will help figure out which methods fit a person’s goals and day-to-day life, and will adjust the plan as progress is made.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific online formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so people can use appointment time for skill practice and problem-solving.
